Washing Scet-Loc clothes.

How do you guys wash new Scent-Loc clothes? Is a normal wash cycle with baking soda acceptable, or do you need something else to add – or just a plain cycle w/o adding soap?

Timmy, it should be washed with a carbon clothes wash detergent. Scent Shield(Scent Blocker) makes one, as does Scent Lok. Not sure if there is a difference from normal hunting detergent, but I use it, when I was my clothes.

I would not wash those scent lok suits you wear on the outside unless you really need to. Put it in the dryer and then hang it outside for a while if you want to activate the carbon.

The suits you wear underneath, I would use the same detergent Lip mentioned.

Good point Scott. Timmy, I only wash mine 1-2 times a year maximum. Once before the season and then I usually switch suits due to the weather and foliage change. Then wear my other one the rest of the year. I like to use a darker/greener camo pattern (Mossy Oak Break-Up) earlier in the season when there leaves, etc. on the trees. Come October I switch over to a lighter shade pattern like Real Tree Hardwoods or my new favorite Gamehide’s Naked North pattern.

I guess I differ with Scott on one point in the maintenance of the suits. I would hang my suit first outside to air it out, then stick it in the dryer to reactivate it. Then directly back into a scent free and scent tight storage bag or container. If you have any questions, shoot me a PM.

i hand wash (i read this was better than going through the washer) my scent lock clothes with scent lok soap, but only when they really need it, hand rinse a couple of times, line dry, reactivate in dryer, then back in scent free bag

Yes, if you are going to wash MAKE SURE- you use the detergent that is for carbon clothing- as regular detergent clogs the carbon-

Also, I usually run a wet towel(previously washed with regular scent-free hunting detergent) and sprayed with white lightning- in the dryer, so that it will elimate the wifes smell good fabric softner, before reactivating the carbon.

Just wash them like normal in your washing machine with SportWash. It is designed to rinse complety and is unscented. WallyWorld has it. This stuff also works wonders on organic stains.
